Book description
Strange things happen in Little Obscurity - but the Bureau of Mysteries
is always there to investigate. In the bustling city of Little
Obscurity, George Feather lives a fairly uneventful life. That is, until
he falls down a chimney and discovers the Bureau of Mysteries, an
eccentric group of investigators and codebreakers who live in between
the floors of the Brass Castle Hotel. After learning that evil Clockwork
Octopus Society are planning to wreak havoc on Little Obscurity, George
is quickly recruited to help track the villains down. Along with his
partner, Imp, George follows the trails of evidence and cracks the codes
that each of their suspects leave behind. Chased by swarms of mechanical
insects, overcome by horrible smells and trapped in train tunnels,
George and Imp have a gigantic task ahead of them. Will they be able to
solve all of the cryptic clues in time to save the city? H. J. Harper
is a children's author who lives in Melbourne. By day she works in a
bookstore, spruiking her favourite wares; by night she writes stories
about zombies, movie stars, ninjas and robots. Her first series of
books, STAR LEAGUE, will be published in 2011.
